This time of year can be hard for many people, but it looks like actor Zac Efron has been having it rougher than most while attempting to film his new reality survival series.
This time of year can be hard for many people, but it looks like actor Zac Efron has been having it rougher than most while attempting to film his new reality survival series.
"I tend to thrive under extreme circumstances and seek out opportunities that challenge me on every level," Efron said in a statement at the time. "I am excited to explore any uncharted territory and discover what unexpected adventure awaits."
It was reported that Efron had become ill with an infection. He was reportedly released from hospital and flown back to the United States on December 24th.
The Daily Telegraph reported that the star had contracted typhoid, a potentially life-threatening bacterial infection that causes a high fever and abdominal pain.
Nobody wants to hear that anyone's contracted a serious illness, especially not someone you're a fan of and look up to.
"I dont think I could emotionally handle Zac Efron leaving us in 2019," tweeted one fan.
"Very thankful to everyone who has reached out," he wrote alongside this picture of himself with locals in Papua New Guinea.
"I’m home for the holidays with my friends and family. Thanks for all the love and concern, see you in 2020!"
Including celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, Catfish star Max Joseph, and graphic artist Boss Logic, who all expressed relief that he was feeling better.
"Omg my friends and I held a candle light vigil to pray for you! Guess it worked," wrote one commenter, and another added, "Glad to hear you are feeling better handsome."
It is a bit ironic that the show he was filming is called Killing Zac Efron, but we're sure the irony isn't lost on Zac!
We're all so glad that Zac's okay, and we're sure that Killing Zac Efron is going to be a wild ride to watch!
